Schools How is it being a high school teacher in USA

AI Thread Summary
High school teaching in the U.S. involves navigating various responsibilities, including lesson planning and classroom management. Many teachers emphasize the importance of understanding the curriculum and student needs. Resources for high school physics textbooks are available online, which can aid in familiarizing oneself with the syllabus. For college teaching, a Master's degree from India may be sufficient for positions at community colleges, although a Ph.D. is typically required for university-level teaching.

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'
